Hellenistic insights into the human person -- Biblical understandings of flesh, body and soul -- Desert teachings on the body and asceticism -- "Virgins of God": manly women and transvestite saints -- "Enemy" or "friend": Climacus's integration of the body -- The Syrian perspective on asceticism -- Key Syrian sources: apocrypha and anonymity -- Pseudo-Macarius, Messalianism and synaesthesia -- "Clothed in the body" as a metaphor for incarnation -- Heterodox christologies and the heresiarchs -- Orthodox patristic formulations.

Sommario/riassunto

This book explores religious anthropology and asceticism from its biblical and desert roots and within eastern patristic writers including Ephrem, Pseudo-Macarius and Climacus. Hunt examines the apparent paradox that Jesus' earthly existence and post resurrection appearances are experienced through consummately physical actions and attributes yet some ascetics within the Christian tradition appear to seek to deny the value of the human body, to find it deadening of spiritual life.

Sommario/riassunto

Electrical Machines primarily covers the basic functionality and the role of electrical machines in their typical applications. The effort of applying coordinate transforms is justified by obtaining a more intuitive, concise and easy-to-use model. In this textbook,



mathematics is reduced to a necessary minimum, and priority is given to bringing up the system view and explaining the use and external characteristics of machines on their electrical and mechanical ports. Covering the most relevant concepts related to machine size, torque and power, the author explains the losses and secondary effects, outlining cases and conditions in which some secondary phenomena are neglected. While the goal of developing and using machine mathematical models, equivalent circuits and mechanical characteristics persists through the book, the focus is kept on physical insight of electromechanical conversion process. Details such as the slot shape and the disposition of permanent magnets and their effects on the machine parameters and performance are also covered. This textbook is intended for undergraduate students of electrical engineering as their first course in electrical machines. It is also recommended for students preparing capstone projects in which they need to understand, model, supply, control and specify electric machines.  Additionally, it can be used as a valuable reference for other engineering disciplines involved with electrical motors and generators.
